About the Exhibit:
'Seed to Sky ' interrogates the assumption that simply planting trees is an inherently g ood act. Rather\, this exhibit demonstrates how the exploitation of the tre e as a disenchanted raw material has resulted in the creation of vast extra ctive forested landscapes that are ecologically hollow. By exploring the pe rspectives of trees as complex beings with their own agency\, entangled wit h the world in profound ways\, they can be understood as more than a renewa ble resource\, but as profound educators - demonstrating how humanity may w ork together with nature to build deeper connections to the Earth.
Biography
The artists of "Seed to Sky" are a group bro ught together through the Master of Architecture program at UBC\, with prev ious backgrounds ranging from Earth Sciences and Sustainability to Sociolog y to Political Science. Their shared passion for design enables them to syn thesize these interests through art as they seek to create and imagine posi tive futures. Previous works include installation\, drawing\, and design pr ojects that traverse scale and media to explore human relationships to the more-than human world. As they live and work within the shared\, unceded\, ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱ wú7mesh (Squa mish)\, and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations\, they see the historic and ongoing development of the city as inseparable from a resource extractive economy that is dependent on the consumption of Nature. The work of these c ollaborative artists strives to better understand\, critique\, and re-envis ion this cycle.
The exhibit is free and open to the public du ring regular building hours\, 9am-5pm. It is located in the Lobby on the fi rst floor.
